This morning.

Via Irish Mirror:

The research, which surveyed over 12,000 people across six European countries to investigate public trust in expertise, reveals the public’s view on the pandemic, vaccination, and their belief in various Covid-19 conspiracies.

Despite 31% of people in Ireland thinking the number of deaths from coronavirus were exaggerated by government, the majority still expressed a strong belief in the scientific consensus that Covid-19 vaccines are safe.

…The feeling that government is not honest and truthful was shared by 48% of Irish people in the first part of the Peritia study, with 58% thinking the Government communicates inaccurate and biased information.

…Regarding the legacy of the pandemic, 78% of people in Ireland are concerned about its long-term impact.

Meanwhile…

Irish respondents, and those in Italy, also showed the highest rate of willingness to comply with coronavirus restrictions put in place by the Government, with 88% of people saying that they always or sometimes do this.

…The stark modelling is understood to have single-handedly led to the decision to move away from herd immunity to a national lockdown on March 23.

But minutes from a SPI-M (Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling) meeting  have shown that, a week earlier, the modellers remained ‘uncertain‘ of case numbers ‘due to data limitations’.

The team is also understood to have believed that the modelling only showed ‘proof of concept‘ that lockdowns could help deal with Covid, before warning that ‘further work would be required‘.

Following the release of its model, Imperial College held a press conference, followed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordering the public to avoid pubs, restaurants and non-essential social gatherings later the same day.

Pro-mask Prof. Cliona Ni Cheallaigh has called for continued mask-wearing

This morning.

Dr Cliona Ní Cheallaigh, consultant in infectious diseases and general medicine at St James’s Hospital in Dublin, has said she would “suggest very strongly” that people continue to wear masks.

Via RTE News”

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dr Ní Cheallaigh said the Government is discussing mandates, which is different to wearing a mask by choice which she said she would encourage people to do if they want to avoid getting Covid-19.

There’s still an awful lot of Covid circulating around, so I think if you don’t want to get Covid I would suggest very strongly that you continue to wear your masks,” she said.

She said unfortunately the vaccine “is not 100% by any means“.

Dr Ní Cheallaigh said recent high case numbers are likely due to people with compromised immune systems being infected with Covid-19.

“People whose immune systems don’t work at all. They’re still getting really, really sick and dying from Covid unfortunately and because there’s so much of it circulating, they’re being exposed,” she said.

Right.

But it doesn’t make any sense?

Shut up and take the jab.

Professor Philip Nolan, chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group

This morning.

Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio One.

Professor Philip Nolan said he believes people have forgotten how easily the virus spreads, adding “we’re simply getting too close”.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, he said “we cannot let the disease run riot” and people will need “to be careful around this virus for some time”.

There has been a four-fold increase in cases, he said, and “where they go next really depends on what we do over the next few weeks”.

He said, however, that if the levels of infection are allowed to build up to very high levels, “we’re going to be in real trouble”, and warned against “the vaccinated feeling inappropriately bulletproof“.
